They Found Our Engineer

'They Found Our Engineer' is Michael Bishop's authoritative history of the Land Rover's creation, drawing on decades of primary research, factory records, and first-hand accounts to tell the story of the engineers, designers, and decision-makers who brought one of Britain's most enduring vehicles to life.

The book goes beyond the familiar narrative to examine the real people and circumstances behind the Land Rover's development in 1947 and 1948 — including the pre-production vehicles like 260AC that were built before the world knew the Land Rover existed.

Essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in Land Rover history, British automotive heritage, or the story of post-war British engineering.
